Describe the bug

When I attempt to set the tab title with the suggestion offered here: https://docs.warp.dev/terminal/windows/tabs

in the "terminal tip" section, I'm not having any luck. Any thoughts?

process.stdout.write(`\x1b]0;${branchName}\x07`)

To reproduce

  • Create typescript file with process.stdout.write(\x1b]0;a tab name\x07)
    to set the tab name.
  • Run it with tsx
  • Observe that tab name does not change

Expected behavior

  • Tab name should change to a tab name
